WHAT DOES PASIGRAPHY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pasigraphy

A pasigraphy is a writing system where each written symbol represents a concept. The aim is to be intelligible to persons of all languages. The term was first applied to a system proposed in 1796, though a number of pasigraphies had been devised prior to that; Leopold Einstein reviews 60 attempts at creating an international auxiliary language, the majority of the 17th-18th century projects being pasigraphies of one kind or another, while Arika Okrent includes a list of 500 in her book on the subject, with samples of many. Leibniz wrote about the Alphabet of human thought and Alexander von Humboldt corresponded with Peter Stephen Du Ponceau who proposed a universal phonetic alphabet. Examples of pasigraphies include Blissymbols and Real Character.
